How Vantagepoint Calculates Tax

To calculate an employee's Arizona State tax, Vantagepoint does the following:

  1. Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
  2. Subtracts the employee's 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine taxable income.
  3. Applies the percentage indicated by the employee to the taxable wage, yielding the net income tax for Arizona.
  4. Divides the annual income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
